E-Books For Libraries

About 123Library

123Library is a leading international ebook aggregrator based in the United Kingdom. 123Library specialises in the building of ebook collections worldwide. 123Library has partnered with Red Pepper Online in South Africa to provide an ebook solution geared towards academic, corporate and government libraries in South Africa, in particular those with specialised collections and/or a smaller budget.

Although you can browse through 123library's online catalogue and buy one eBook at a time, 123Library also presents their catalogue as helpful 'Collections'. Online collections of eBooks allow you to more easily find the type of electronic books that you want and to better appreciate the range of online material that is available in your field of interest. Should you wish to buy a collection of eBooks in a given field, it can be achieved quickly and simply in a few clicks.

Rather than purchasing an expensive eBook reader that may rapidly become obsolete and will make you dependent on one ebook supplier, 123library's e-book platform works with every recent computer system or mobile device. 123library's web-based ebook reader preserves the original formatting of the page as published in print, and gives you a clear and crisp image regardless of the complexity of the book. It is ideal for educational, academic and reference titles.

Why should you choose 123Library's eBook service for YOUR library?
